81 was just thinking about an incident
OF the late war;" said a citizen yesterday
who had worn the gray, land some time
when news is scarce l wish you would
publish it, as there are many OF your read
ers who Will remember it when called to
their minds"
The reporter listened.
sin March, 1864, the First Georgia
Regiment, under the command of Col.
McGill. was ordered from Virginia to
Florida. The citizens of Macon rendered
us a banquet In the upper room of the
union depot when we passed through the
city. When we arrived at Chattahoo.
chez, where the arsenal was located, the
wagons in charge OF Capt. Paine, the
Quartermaster, went through the country
70 join the regiment. Now Capt. Paine
mad IN MS charge several
gold watches belonging to the OIL
GERS and men, and the sum of $12, 600 with
which to pay off the command. These
valuables were in small black leather
trunk, which, In the absence OF a lock,
WAS fastened with leather straps. When
about fifteen miles from The arsenal, the
Captain halted and camped for the night.
The wagons were parked as usual, his
own wagon being placed in the centre.
The trunk was placed in MS tent. When
he awoke next morning the trunk was
gone, and the camp was thrown into
futter of excitement. A search found
the trunk near lime sink and nothing
gone but the money. Some negro dogs
were secured and used all day without
success. The camp was broken
up and the next day, after long
march, all the teamsters were
placed under arrest. A detach-
menJ OF soldiers were sent back to the
old camp and the woods searched for two
long days. When the detachment re-
turned TO Capt. Paine 1t was discovered
that during their absence Que OF the
teamsters confessed 10 having committed
the robbery. He had taken the money
from the trunk and stuffed it into a jug,
which he had buried. with the idea, per-
haps, of deserting and returning for it.
He was carried back 10 the camping
place and the jug was found where he
had placed 1t. On breaking the Jug the
money was found. The fellow had taken
the bills, rolled them up and in this way
placed $4,000 in a jug, and this is per-
maps the first time jug ever held that
much money!

Charged the Collector with Going to
Remove Chisholm for Having Made
the Raid-Other Crookedness Alleged
to Have Been Laid at the Collectors

ATLANTA. GA, Feb. 15.-Collector OF
Revenue Thomas c. Crenshaw and Reve-
nue. Agent w. Fl. Chapman had a per-
sonal encounter at the custom house this
morning. Agent Chapman went into Col
lector Crenehaw's office and said: 81 un-

Il am" replied Collector Crenshaw, 81

tice and will discharge him ON March
pnless his resignation shall be handed in
y that time"
"Chisholm is one OF the best men in the
SERVICE" said Mr.. Chapman. sand don't
think you ought to discharge him."
Mr.. Crenshaw replied that he UNDER
stood his business, and intimated strongly
that Mr.. Chapman was an intermeddler.
RoUsING THE LION.
Mr.. Chapman then said: "If you do dis
charge Chisholm l will charge that you
did so because he seized your friend
exposed his frauds"
MIR. Crenshaw said that such was not
the case, but he declined to give his rea-
sseps for removing Chisholm.
apman then said: "You yourself
have sEressed frauds In your depart
ment In the interest of your friends"
MIR. Crenshaw replied that that was not
true.
MIR. Chapman sprang from his chair,
and seiZing Mr.. Crenshaw by the arm
hisseas Jpn kill you If you don't take
that D6ckr'
MIR. Crenshaw yelled: 'pll die in my
tracks before will do It,"
REACHING FOR HIS PISTOL.
Chapman then caught him by the throat
and ran his hand in his pocket. By this
time the clerks rushed in from the other
room, and as Mr.. Crenshaw pushed MIR.
Chapman from him, he SAID; "rhat mans
got knife or pistol"
Mr.. Chapman said: "You are an infer
nal liar. You are armed.''
Upon this Mr.. Crenshaw emptied his
pockets to show that he was not armed,
his pocket, showed q closed pocket-knIfe,
and here the trouble ended.
Mr.. Chapman's version Is that he ad
vised MIR. Crenshaw not to discharge
Chisholm, because IL was reported on The
streets that he intended to do so because
Chisholm had seized the still Of Mr..
Crawford, who Is on Mr.. Crenshaw's
bond. Mr.. Crenshaw, Chapman says,
gave him the lie and he ohoked him.
Mr.. Crenshaw says he could have
whipped Chapman easily, but considered
it beneath his dignity either to handy epi-
thets with him or assault him.
